  I guess my point is that it isn’t a particularly important part of the design of Wi-Fi - it would likely have been born regardless of the invention; Bluetooth would not.

  Great to recognise this invention.

  I was surprised by the choice of ‘Mother of Wi-Fi’ though - Wi-Fi hasn’t used ‘frequency hopping’ as such since 802.11b was released back in 1999 - so very few people will have ever used frequency-hopping Wi-Fi.

  GPS only uses it in some extreme cases I think, but I’m not an expert.

  However, Bluetooth absolutely does depend on it to function in most situations, so ‘Mother of Bluetooth’ might have been more appropriate.
